The Business Acquisition Contract is a fundamental document used in Malaysian corporate transactions to facilitate the purchase and sale of businesses. It serves as the primary agreement governing the transfer of business ownership, whether through asset purchase or share transfer. This document is essential when acquiring existing businesses in Malaysia and must comply with local regulations including the Companies Act 2016, Competition Act 2010, and relevant industry-specific legislation. The contract typically includes detailed provisions on purchase price, payment mechanisms, warranties, representations, indemnities, and conditions precedent. It also addresses critical aspects such as regulatory approvals, employee transfers, intellectual property rights, and post-completion obligations. The document should be tailored to reflect specific transaction requirements while ensuring compliance with Malaysian legal and regulatory frameworks.
